To obtain (zinc) Zn from zinc sulphide two chemical reaction are involved

To obtain (zinc) Zn from zinc sulphide two chemical reaction are involved



Write the equations for A and B.

Ans. Equation for A:  Roasting is the process in which a sulphide ore is strongly heated in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide.


Equation for B : Zinc metal is extracted by the reduction of its oxide with carbon (or coke). Thus, when, Zinc oxide is heated with carbon, Zinc metal is produced.
